News & Updates from Crafty Spaniel Designs By Jane Butler
Hi AllIve been mega busy over the last few months, as a volunteer coordinator and committee member for Ingleby Barwick Community Partnership (Stockton On Tees).
A keen crafter and designer at Craftsuprint, here I am (center of photograph) enjoying the two day event I enjoyed planning with fellow IBCP volunteers Cath Oldcorn and Kristel Brown.We had 50+ stalls in the craft marquee on both days, including entertainment and refreshments.
There was a fabulous atmosphere amongst the craft stall holders, customers and volunteers. Bringing the community together is a passion of mine and I enjoyed every minute of this event. I also had my own craft stall The Crafty Spaniel which is featured in the photograph.
I make customised gifts and cards which are very popular amongst my customers. Other passions are my love of dogs and being a digital Craft Designer for Craftsuprint. I have two spaniels myself, hence the name The Crafty Spaniel. One of the next events will be our Christmas Fayre.
Lots of festive ideas for that event.Do pop along to my webpage and craft store at Craftsuprint as I have some fabulous new designs coming up soon. http://www.craftsuprint.com/jane-butler/?r=454737
Hi Folks !... Just back from two wonderful weeks in Winterton, Norfolk. As always we took our two spaniels Jake and Bailey. Here they are doing a spot of 'duck watching' at the waterside. Being spaniels they love the water and of course they would like to chase the ducks.
I absolutely love this part of the UK and holiday there regularly. I have taken some gorgeous photos whilst being away, many I will no doubt use as inspiration for my designing.
Gorgeous sunsets and quaint thatched cottages.
A lovely place to retire if I win the lottery ! Now I'm back home, look out for some of my latest cardmaking designs on CUP.
I will be making some new Card Creator designs too for those of you who like to personalise your own cards.
Happy Crafting everyone ! Some Of My Latest Designs
Hello Crafters.. Just wanted to share my delight at volunteering for The Families Opportunity Weekend 2015 at Coventry where I was crafting with the children who suffer with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus I suffer with Spina Bifida myself and understand the difficulties both adults and children alike are faced with when dealing with this condition. Shine Charity helps people of all ages who suffer from Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus.
Membership is Free http://www.shinecharity.org.uk/ It was an honour and a privilege to spend my time cardmaking and crafting with such amazing children.
All those smiling faces, creating memories that I will treasure forever. Here I am sporting my Shine T-Shirt. Happy Crafting! Here are two of my favourite designs
Just back from a lovely relaxing holiday in sunny Norfolk. Here is a photograph of my cocker spaniel 'Bailey' looking all wet and sandy after a dip in the sea at Winterton.
We also took our other dog 'Jake' with us.
Jake is a springer spaniel and the two dogs loved playing about in the sand and sea water. I get a lot of inspiration for my work when I'm on my holidays and always have my camera to hand.
Animals and nature regularly feature in my work. And my spaniels are always by my side whether I'm designing or not.
Hi Folks ! Just a line or two to tell you all that I am now a PLATINUM designer for Craftsuprint.
I would like to thank every customer that has bought my sheets - I love being a designer for Craftsuprint and I look forward to designing many more sheets for you to enjoy.
